As the COVID-19 situation continues to develop in the US, Twitter has been one of the main platforms for the population to voice their thoughts and concearns regarding the pandemic. Recently, one of the most topics most present in the public conscience and social media has been the usage of facemasks and issued government mandates for the use of such, which have shown to greatly help curbing the spread of coronavirus (Chu et al. 2020). With a small but extremely vocal proportion of the population vigorously refusing to follow CDC guidelines for mask usage, which significantly aids in the spread of coronavirus, I wondered if tweets by voices against masks were less present in states with a good COVID-19 situation and response, with the opposite also possibly being true. To find out if this was truly the case, I utilized the tools developed by the RPI COVID-Twitter team to compare tweet discussions and sentiment between New York and Alabama, two states with vastly different COVID-19 situations and responses.
